1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith
1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith

Description

  This is a California-spec Wraith that was fitted with the new Bosch

  fuel injection that became standard on the next-generation Silver

  Spirit & Silver Spur in 1981. Many Rolls enthusiasts prefer this

  earlier body style, making this a very desirable and rare car-last

  year of the preferred body style plus modern fuel injection. The

  Wraith name designates the more-desirable long wheelbase version

  for even greater comfort-analogous to the Silver Spur.

  It was sold new at Rolls-Royce of Beverly Hills in early 1981 and

  maintained there by the first owner for twenty-six years, going to

  the second owner in 2007. We have copies of all the service records

  from that owner, who continued to diligently maintain the car for

  the next thirteen years. We are representing the Rolls for the

  third owner, who bought it in 2020. CarFax does not report on

  per-1982 cars, but the copious records appear to accurately track

  the mileage to the current 57K. The car was professionally

  repainted in its original colors prior to 2007 and the finish still

  presents exceptionally well. The car spent most of its life in

  Southern California and the underside is clear evidence of that

  benign climate.

  In recent years it has had a transmission and hydraulic accumulator

  service, plus regular oil changes-the most recent was last month.

  It runs smoothly and quietly and is a pleasure to drive. In

  addition to the fabulous documentation, we have everything the car

  came with when first delivered: Original window sticker ($102,440),

  both keys, the complete bundle of owner's manuals, front & rear

  Mouton sheepskin carpet overlays, complete trunk tool & bulb kits

  and all the tire-changing equipment (including the gloves) that all

  looks new. For greater visibility, Bosch high-intensity H4

  headlamps have been fitted plus LED bulbs in other exterior lamps.

  Factory seat track extenders to better accommodate a tall driver

  have been added as well. A $3200 cooling system service was just

  completed that included a new aluminum radiator.

  It would be very difficult to find a better-documented, better

  cared-for or better-looking Wraith II than this example, which is

  also a terrific value.

  If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on

  our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect

  first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We

  practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that

  nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself.

  Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car,

  and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic

  happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a

  knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales

  are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our

  cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We

  follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future

  clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
